The WikibaseManifest extension provides an API endpoint that allows for automated configuration discovery of the Wikibase it is installed on; the endpoint returns automatically discovered configuration information from the local Wikibase for use by external tools.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted WikibaseManifest folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseManifest
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'WikibaseManifest' );
  

• Optionally set equivalent entities, max lag and external services (see below)
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

Equivalent entities

Optionally specify a list of entities on Wikidata that have an equivalent entity on this Wikibase.

$wgWbManifestWikidataEntityMapping = [
	'properties' => [
		'P31' => 'P1',
	],
	'items' => [
		'Q5' => 'Q15'
	],
];

Maximum lag

Specify the maximum lag setting (in seconds) that automated clients of this Wikibase should follow (default: 5)

$wgWbManifestMaxLag = 7;

External services

Optionally specify a list of external services and the URLs at which they can be found.

$wgWbManifestExternalServiceMapping = [
	'queryservice_ui' => 'https://query.wikidata.org',
    # queryservice is derived from Wikibase config if left out:
	'queryservice' => 'https://query.wikidata.org/sparql',
	'quickstatements' => 'https://quickstatements.toolforge.org',
	'openrefine_reconcile' => 'https://wikidata.reconci.link/${lang}/api',
];

Documentation of the valid external service names can be found in the code of the extension.
